TheTeapot Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I watched McMillions over the last couple of weeks, HBO 6 part documentary about a scam to rip off a McDonalds Monopoly promo in the US 20+ years ago and the FBIs efforts to stop it and find the crooks. Most people missed the news cos 9/11 happened and took all the attention. It was alright, enjoyed watching it, interviews with people on all sides. Dunno if it has been broadcast over here or what channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxberry Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I've found plenty of series to watch on Netflix lately, including some very good British stuff: Fantasy/Scifi The Witcher: a hell of a lot better than I expected it to be and I've been a fan for years. Russian Doll: Short series which is groundhog day like. Love, Death + Robots: Very short stories - some are fantastic, others are shite. Lost in Space: Starts slow and seems quite kiddy at first but it's really nice, and the aesthetic is very good, seemingly based on the "Mass Effect" style. Maniac: I can't explain what makes this so insane to watch, but it's set in a slightly different world to our own and is a crazy look into depression, schizophrenia and mental health. Stranger Things: Nuff said - it's good! Comedy/Dark comedy Derry Girls: This is a wonderful show about schoolgirls in Derry in the 90s. It's dead on and quite heartfelt at times. Afterlife: Ricky Gervais in a fantastic role as a man who has lost his wife. Uncle: This surprised me - was not a fan of Nick Helm until this. Action 6Underground: Ryan Reynolds, big booms, action Any of the Mission Impossible films Do not watch: Another Life: It's got Starbuck in, which is what lured me in. It's also utter utter crap.

quilp Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Just starting to watch the 1st episode, series 2 of 'Tin Star.' The 1st series was a slow start but it picked up OK. Strangely engrossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 3 of Ozark is mighty fine so far, 5 episodes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Yeah, glued to it. Tim Roth plays the off-the-wall cop convincingly. Some dark humour in it too. Another recommendation would be the period drama, 'Babylon Berlin,' with the anti-nazi, smack-addicted detective during and after WW2. Some great music in it too (much like 'Rosaline' in the 'Songs' thread). Worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be good. On your recommendation I'll start on Ozark. Hummed and harred about giving it a watch up to now. Third series of Fauda starting soon also. This is definitely worth a watch.

Chinahand Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Just finished Unorthodox on Netflix. Absolutely brilliantly acted portrayal of a young girl escaping a stifling marriage in an ultra-orthodox jewish community in Brooklyn. Just beautifully crafted drama.
